Air Fryer Chicken Bites
Air fryer chicken bites are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried chicken. Not only do they taste great, but they are also much easier to make and require minimal clean-up.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup panko
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 380F. While the air fryer preheats, start making the chicken.
- Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Season with garlic salt and pepper.
- Gather 3 plates or shallow dishes. To one plate add flour, to another eggs, and to the last panko. Whisk eggs until combined.
- Dip chicken in flour, then eggs, and then panko. Shake off excess.
- Once the air fryer has preheated, add the chicken bites to the air fryer. Spray the chicken bites with non-stick cooking spray. This will help give the chicken a nice crispy exterior. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and an internal temperature of at least 165F. Shake the basket halfway through cooking.
- Remove from the airfryer, cool slightly, and ENJOY with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
Tips to making the best air fryer chicken bites
- Make sure to preheat your air fryer before cooking the chicken bites. This will help them cook evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Be sure to cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate. You don't want some pieces to be overcooked while others are undercooked.
- Don't overcrowd the basket of the air fryer. Allowing enough space between the chicken bites will allow hot air to circulate and cook the chicken evenly.
